Transparency

Reforms

The moderators of this subreddit are dedicated to transparency and building trust with the community. /r/technology is currently undergoing reform to increase moderator transparency and openness. Currently implemented reforms:

Just because you heard about stuff like this before doesn't mean everybody did. And I heard about women that had their shit taken down on youtube without anybode caring, too. This one just seems to have a larger following (on reddit).

I'm sure you heard that it happened to women, but you never said they started bitching by saying its "oh no, it happened to a woman, therefor, we need to pay special attention". So, no, thats not what you said.

I'm simply pointing out that its sexist to think women can't deal with stupid assholes that try to pull this. And that its sexist to ignore when people do it to men. The whole premise of the title is utterly sexist garbage.

You read the title as (female (rights activist)), when you can also read (female rights (activist)).

Also, the title isn't "YouTube DMCA-takedowns abused for real-life harassment of a poor defenseless woman! White knights of reddit, assemble, she obviously can't help herself"

Anyone reading the fine article will see that she has a plan to fight this situation, and doesn't ask for help, so where do you get that she's "bitching"?

All of this and the way you react makes me think you have a beef with women or feminists or the way you think women are getting preferential treatment here, and it has little to do with the actual article / reddit discussion at hand.
